Thought of the day

Attended a Career talk organized by CUMEC today. This is the first time i didnt doze off or lose concentration during a talk. The talk was by an engineer from Ranhill-Worley, Mr. Chow. He delivered his speech in a humorous way and most importantly, he provided information that we are really interested to know. Finally I have some brief idea what field am going to venture into after i graduate.

I was not really passionate about being a Mechanical Engineer in the future until I was introduced to HSE engineering today.Yes yes yes, I'm totally passionate when it involves the environment and i love everything that is connected in any way to the environment. Mr. Chow who has worked many years in the Oil and Gas Industry also mentioned that it is a field which will be greatly in demand for the next few years. "Who knows, one day engineers might need to cut down on development instead of keep developing in order to save the environment.", he said. 

The other field which sounds interesting to me is the management or manufacturing field. There are heaps of manufacturing companies in Penang but for environment related firms, perhaps i will only have the opportunity if i am willing to work in Singapore as i've never heard of such firms in Penang. One thing for sure, I was never interested in the designing field so i could never work for a consulting firm. 

All these means that, i will still have chance to get a job i like in the future! Hopefully i really get the chance to involve myself in environment related jobs. Although i'm not sure will it be as fun as what i've imagined but, success or failure isn't that important and what really counts is the experience, right, peeps?
